Albums, Trance | Anjunabeats Volume 9 (Mixed By Above & Beyond) Review

Posted by on November 15, 2011

Anjunabeats Volume 9 is a mix compilation of 28 new and unreleased songs from artists on Anjunabeats mixed by Above and Beyond. It is a compilation that will leave you speechless with the range of styles and mastery displayed by these artists. All 28 songs are mixed, but it is separated into 2 separate mix CDs, where the style changes somewhat. The first CD is what Anjunabeats is known for and what its fans all around the world love it for. It starts off perfectly with one of Above & Beyond’s new tracks “Tokyo” with a teasing piano lead, relaxing synth build and soft choral chants to get you into the rest of the volume. The first CD is that melodic, euphoric trance with sensitive piano leads, flowing synth melodies, easy bass, smooth violin samples and of course the occasional female vocals that we all expect from Anjunabeats. This CD includes 2 NEW releases from Above and Beyond, Oliver Smith, Andrew Bayer, Norin & Rad and others. The second CD is more of the progressive trance/house type of releases from Anjunabeats. It has several already released remixes and singles on Anjunabeats such as Arty “Kate”, Mat Zo “Frequency Flyer” and Jaytech’s “New Vibe”. This is more upbeat trance, while maintaining the structure, bass, sensitive piano leads and uplifting synth melodies that Anjunabeats is known for. CD 2 includes the much anticipated release from Mat Zo & Arty “Mozart” and new songs from Cramp, Jaytech and others. Here are some samples from both CDs for you to listen to and if you want to get the album you can buy it from the Anjunabeats store HERE, or on iTunes HERE.

Hip-Hop | Chip Tha Ripper – Low Key (Prod. By Rami Beatz)

Posted by on November 13, 2011

For me at least, this style Chip has going on in this track is nothing I have ever experienced from him before. I love the piano, besides the pun to the title, it supports the build to the drop of his chill, laid back vocals. This might be one of my favorite tracks of his now. It is something you can listen to driving around or chillin at home, it’s Low Key what else is there to say.

Here are some solid remixes for Dusky’s song “It’s Not Enough”. If you’ve been in the library for WAY too long, throw on your Beats and chill for minute.

The first song is a piano remix which has a smooth piano riff on top of an incredible underlying melody.

Electro, Progressive House, Videos | Adele – Someone Like You (Thomas Gold & Mark Mendes Bootleg), Digitalism

Posted by on November 3, 2011

Everything about this video is perfect, from the grandma to the dog to the dance to the background and the music, just everything. Somebody get these guys a gig in Ibiza or Vegas.
Thomas Gold & Mark Mendes gave out this bootleg of Adele’s “Something Like You” for free and it is great. It may not be as good as Thomas Gold’s massive remix of “Set Fire to Rain” but it is close. It keeps a lot of Adele’s magical vocals with a smooth piano lead into a synth and bass drop.

Here is the Digitalism remix of “Syndicate” the video game theme that Skrillex took on a few months back. Digitalism gives us a heavy electro interpretation of the song with a varying keyboard melody.

Preview, Progressive House, Videos | Tiesto & Steve Aoki – Tornado Teaser, Franz Novotny – Crunch & Digital Lab Remix

Posted by on November 1, 2011

Here is a teaser for “Tornado”, the new collaboration between Steve Aoki and Tiesto. Release on November 15th.
I recently posted an amazing remix by Franz Novotny and here is his new single “Crunch” with the Digital Lab remix. With an infectious piano lead and synth cords in the build that get to a drop with some crunchy synths the original is a great track. The Digital Lab remix may be my favorite because the synths in the drop are smoother and there is a little more piano, but the original has a little more of an electro feel. Get these on Beatport HERE.
